“I think I put a little too much pressure on myself tonight,” Bestwick said with regards to his point standings. “I finally realized, ‘you know what, I need to go back to my old way, and just chill out and have fun.’ I’m so stoked that I managed to pull it out in that second run.”
Bestwick sits in first place in the Dew Tour standings with 243 points. He is trailed by Tabron with 213 points.
The four-day competition is the third of five stops of the AST Dew Tour that features skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross. Saturday's action features BMX Park finals.
